 Constant Wattage Heating Cable
with Resistance Wire
These parallel heating cables offer tremendous flexibility in use, as they can easily be cut to the required length off
the roll, with the assurance of constant power output. There is no need for a connecting cable and input can be
unilateral. It is quick and easy to assemble; this saves a lot of time, and reduces costs considerably as a result. Since
output of up to 60 W/m is possible for lengths laid to piping, ELP parallel heating cables are particularly suitable
for piping with high output requirements such as in industrial process technology. The particularly temperature-
resistant outer shell in PFA and the high level of chemical resistance of the PFA ensure a long useful life.

Advantages: Applications:
Single end power input Vessels, piping, valves
Can be cut off the roll Building construction
Constant power output per meter Food processing industry
Long life cycle Paper industry
Laying without exact measuring possible

 Junction Box, Round,

On-pipe Mounting in Hazardous Areas
The innovative junction box ELAK-Ex-R with mounting bracket (Ex-it) is suitable for use in potentially explosive at-
mosphere in accordance with Ex-guidelines 94/9/CE (ATEX 95) and provides a number of advantages. Thanks to
the shape of the box, for instance, it is not necessary to strongly bend the inserted cable thereby avoiding cable
damage. Due to the incorporated mounting bracket there is no need to provide angle irons. This is especially
advantageous to heat tracing on piping because the cable can directly be introduced via the mounting bracket.
Furthermore, fastening screws for heating lines and sensors are not required. A safety locking, with appropriate
tool included, prevents the cover to move. Additional features permitting the attachment of sign plates facilitate
easy identification of heating circuits in complex systems.

Advantages: Applications:
No static charge Hazardous areas
Rapid closing of the cover through Chemical & petrochemical industries
snap fit, no tool required Power stations
Increased mechanical safety through Industrial plants with a need for frost protection
